Psalm 119:81-96
Holman Christian Standard Bible
כ Kaf
81 I long for Your salvation;(A)
I put my hope in Your word.(B)
82 My eyes grow weary
looking for what You have promised;(C)
I ask, “When will You comfort me?”
83 Though I have become like a wineskin dried by smoke,
I do not forget Your statutes.
84 How many days must Your servant wait?
When will You execute judgment on my persecutors?(D)
85 The arrogant have dug pits for me;(E)
they violate Your instruction.
86 All Your commands are true;
people persecute me with lies—help me!(F)
87 They almost ended my life on earth,
but I did not abandon Your precepts.
88 Give me life in accordance with Your faithful love,
and I will obey the decree You have spoken.
ל Lamed
89 Lord, Your word is forever;(G)
it is firmly fixed in heaven.
90 Your faithfulness is for all generations;(H)
You established the earth, and it stands firm.(I)
91 They stand today in accordance with Your judgments,(J)
for all things are Your servants.(K)
92 If Your instruction had not been my delight,
I would have died in my affliction.(L)
93 I will never forget Your precepts,
for You have given me life through them.(M)
94 I am Yours; save me,(N)
for I have sought Your precepts.(O)
95 The wicked hope to destroy me,(P)
but I contemplate Your decrees.
96 I have seen a limit to all perfection,
but Your command is without limit.
